The Wisconsin State Journal -- in collaboration with the Medill Justice Project -- reports that there is doubt that 4-month-old Lincoln Wilber was killed by abuse from his daycare provider, Jennifer Hancock, who was convicted in 2009 and sentenced to 13 years in prison. Michael Stier, a forensic pathologist whose testimony was crucial in convicting Hancock, now believes something other than abuse could have caused the boy's death. "I want to make sure that something I did did not lead to an injustice," he says.
